2.1 Operating principle

All the compressors fitted inside the refill stations are of the high pressure type with forced air cooling
and 3 stages of compression. The air circulating around the compressor, which does not contain any
harmful fumes, is taken into the intake filter and introduced through the intake valve into the cylinder of
the first stage where the first compression takes place.
A part of the heat produced in the compression is dissipated by the flow of air created by the fan through
the head and relative valves, piston, cylinder, monobloc and lubricating oil; the heat remaining in the
compressed air is dissipated in the long piping connecting one stage of the compression to another and
which acts as a radiator; the temperature at the hose outlet is just a few degrees higher than that of the
environment.
The operating temperatures of each stage are: at the pipe connection that goes to the intake cylinder:
about 15-20 °C above the environmental temperature (it feels warm to the touch), to the pipe connection
that starts from the head (from the discharge valve), about 80-100 °C.
14 Technical description
The intake air contains a certain degree of humidity according to atmospheric conditions. During the
compression and subsequent cooling, the humidity condenses and together with the particles of lubricating
oil forms a milky white emulsion that precipitates into the separators.
The compression diagram is included in chapter 13.

Description of the pump unit 2.2

The pumping unit has the task of producing compressed air at high pressure (200-300 bar) and purifying
it by means of the decantation and filtering systems until it reaches a level of purity equal to or higher
than the limits set by the standards DIN 3188 - UNI EN 132 - CGA/E, or to increase the pressure of the
gas inhaled (only inert - non-explosive gases).
This unit consists of the following components (Fig. 7-8):

Technical description 15
2.2.1 Monobloc unit

The gooseneck, the pistons and the cylinders

also form a part of this unit.
The monobloc (Fig. 9) is made of aluminium
alloy, the two flanges with the ball and roller
bearings that support the gooseneck are oil-
tight with the monobloc due to the O-Rings
fitted.
The gooseneck and the connecting rods only
turn on roller or ball bearings (Fig. 10).
The three connecting rods are fitted on the
gooseneck with a single crank angle.

10

The cylinders are made of cast iron (Fig. 11), while

the pistons are made of aluminium and have
traditional multiple compression rings. The high
pressure stage piston has an anti-wear coating.
The relative cylinder is given a self-lubricating
treatment.

11

16 Technical description
 Head unit (Fig. 12) 2.2.2

The head unit includes the discharge and intake

valves.
The head of the 1st stage is of a lamellar type and
includes both the intake and the discharge.
The intake and discharge valves are located directly
in their threaded seats of the heads of the 2nd and
3rd stages.

The intake valves can be removed using the special

pin wrench (cod. SC000480), having first removed
the heads.
The discharge valves can be removed from the
outside.
12 See Chapter 11, “Maintenance”.

Safety valves 2.2.3

The purpose of the safety valves (see figure 7) is to protect the machine (and the cylinders) from
overpressure.
These valves are pre-calibrated in the factory at the following pressures:
- safety valve for 1st stage: 8 bar;
- safety valve for 2nd stage: 50 bar;
- safety or final valve for 3rd stage: 225 bar - or 330 bar.

WARNING
Under no circumstances may these valves be altered to increase the calibrated pressure.
If these valves should come into operation, check the cause that has led to the maximum pressure and
take steps according to the instructions given in paragraph 12.1.
Any tampering with the safety valves causes serious damage and an immediate cancellation of the
guarantee.

Technical description 17
2.2.4 Lubricating unit

Lubrication is carried out by means of a tang

screwed into the end part of the connecting rods
of the 2nd and 3rd stages (Fig. 13).
The 3rd high pressure stage is lubricated by oil
vapours.

13

2.2.5 Pressure maintenance valve

This valve is fitted after the final filter. Just a few seconds after the compressor has been started up, it
keeps the pressure of the entire system at 100 ± 20 bar (see exploded view Chapter 14), for the purpose
of eliminating as much water as possible from the air. It also acts as a non-return valve.

2.2.6 Cooling pipes (Fig. 14)

The cooling pipes between the 1st and 2nd stage,

between the 2nd and 3rd stage and after the 3rd stage
are made of stainless steel, like those for the
passage of air between the separator and the filter.

14

18 Technical description
 Filters 2.2.7

INTAKE FILTER (Fig. 15)

The suction filter is coupled directly to the lid of
the 1st stage head.
The intake filter consists of a cylindrical aluminium
casing provided with a screw cap that holds the
filtering cartridge.
A special attachment is provided on the filter for
the connection of an extension (optional) which
enables air to be taken from the outside when the
compressor is installed in a place without ideal
ventilation.
For the compressor to operate properly, the filter
maintenance must be carried out as provided for
and at the intervals recommended (instructions in
paragraph 11.6).

15
ACTIVE CARBON AND MOLECULAR SIEVE FILTER (Fig. 16)
The filter consists of an aluminium tube (B) that
holds the filter cartridge (A).
The shell of the cartridge contains the active carbon
(C) and the molecular sieve (D) placed between
felt disks.
The condition of the cartridge is of fundamental
importance for the quality of the air (see paragraph
11.7 for replacement instructions).

16

Technical description 19
 2.2.8 Frame

MCH 13-16/ETC FRAME

The compressor and the engine (electric or internal
combustion) are fitted on a welded steel frame
coated with epoxy resins.
The frame consists of a coated guard and is fitted
with handles to be able to move the refill station
E more easily.
For the various models, the frames produced are
of 3 types that can be considered to be similar to
each other:
a) frame for models MCH 13-16/ETC (Fig. 17);
17 b) frame for models MCH 8/EM and MCH 13-16/ET
(Fig. 18);
MCH 8/EM - MCH 13-16/ET FRAME

 Machine control 2.3

The refill stations in the “Standard” series do not have an actual control panel as such.
For the models with an electric engine, a cable is provided for connection to the purchaser’s mains
electricity supply (this cable should guarantee that the installation complies with the standards in force
concerning such matters in the country of installation).

The Standard model MCH 8/EM is also provided

with an “ON/OFF” switch (Fig. 21).

21

For the models with an internal combustion

8.1 Filling the machine

WARNING
Before proceeding with the start up operations described below, read chapter 4, “Precautions for use
and maintenance” very carefully and follow the advice given.

Fill the lubricating oil sump of the pump unit when

the machine is switched off.
The machine is delivered without lubricating oil
which is collected in the cans that can be found
inside the machine packaging (Fig. 57).

57

42 Start and stop

 The oil is added by removing the cap marked with
the word “OIL” (Fig. 58).
The quantity of oil to be poured in is 1.5 lt. and
the level should be checked with the machine
turned off, bearing in mind that an excess amount
of oil may cause infiltrations in the cylinders and
a deposit on the valves. On the contrary, if the oil
level is too low, the tang of the connecting rod is
prevented from providing the correct lubrication
with the possibility of causing a seizure of the
cylinders.
To check the amount of oil added, see the next
paragraph.
When the operation has been completed, screw
58 the cap up again.

MODELS WITH INTERNAL CONBUSTION ENGINES

For models run by internal combustion engines, the level of the engine oil must be checked.

NOTE
If the engine is run with an insufficient level of oil, it may be irreparably damaged.
Check the oil level on a flat surface with the engine off.

Remove the oil cap and clean the dipstick

(Fig. 59).
Insert the dipstick in the oil refill hole without
screwing it down.

59

Remove the dipstick and check the level

(Fig. 60).

60

Start and stop 43

 If the oil level is low, top it up until the maximum level is shown on the dipstick. Do not exceed this level.
Use oil of the recommended type.

CAUTION
The life of the engine may be reduced if non-detergent oil or oil for a two-stroke engine is used.

 USE 9
This chapter describes the operations required for refilling the cylinders.
The following instructions presume that the operator has already become familiar with the precautions
given in Chapter 4 “Precautions for use and maintenance” and that the machine has been started up
according to the instructions given in the previous chapter.

9.1 Preliminary operations ....................................................................................................... 57

9.2 Refilling the cylinders ........................................................................................................ 58

WARNING
Before proceeding to use the machine as described below, read chapter 4, “Precautions for use and
maintenance” very carefully and follow the advice given.

P r e l i m i n a r y o p e r at i o n s 9.1

1 Check that the safety valve is operating properly by starting up the compressor with the end taps
turned off so that the pressure in the circuit rises quickly and the valve comes into operation at the
set pressure.
The valve is pre-calibrated in the factory at a pressure of 225 bar or 330 bar.

WARNING
Under no circumstances may the calibration pressure of these valves be increased. Any tampering
with the safety valves may cause serious damage to the machine or to persons and a cancellation of
the guarantee.

2 Check the condition of the cylinders to be filled.

Also refer to the instructions supplied with the cylinders, compiled by the cylinder manufacturers.

DANGER
If the cylinders should show evident signs of internal and/or external corrosion, it is not advisable to
proceed with the filling operation, even if they comply with inspection requirements.

WARNING
Only use inspected cylinders provided with the relative approval.
The cylinder operating and filling pressure values are given on the cylinders themselves.
It is prohibited to exceed this refill pressure value.

Use 57
 After refilling, the cylinders must not be emptied
completely, even during winter storage, to prevent
damp air from getting in (Fig. 98).

98

3 Check the condition of the hoses and the relative connectors.

See paragraph 6.2.2 “Connecting the refill hoses”.

CONDENSATE DISCHARGE

4 Place a container under the two condensate

sniffle valves and then proceed with the manual
discharge by turning on the repsective taps
(Fig. 99).

This operation should also be carried out during

the cylinder refill operations, every 15/20
minutes only on the models without an
automatic condensate discharge feature.

99

9.2 Refilling the cylinders

During this operation, the operator’s position is that shown in chapter 3.2 “Noise”.

WARNING
During the refilling of the cylinders it is compulsory for staff who are not involved with the task to keep a
distance of at least three metres. Furthermore, it is not permitted to disconnect the hoses from the
connectors or from the refill tap while the machine is under pressure.

58 Use
INDICATION
During the cylinder refill phase, it is advisable to immerse the cylinders in cold water in order to reduce
the drop in pressure when the cylinders cool down.

The attachments are disponible: INT - DIN 200

and DIN 300 (Fig. 100).

100

Each refill hose can be connected to a cylinder

so that more than one cylinder can be refilled at
the same time (Fig. 101).
The following operations must be repeated for each
hose to be connected to the cylinder for refilling.

101

1 Fit hose attachment “1” to the cylinder valves

and turn on tap “2” (Fig. 102).

 PUTTING THE MACHINE OUT OF OPERATION
10 AND DISMANTLING THE MACHINE

This chapter provides instructions to be followed for long machine standstills or for the dismantling of
the same.

10.1 Instructions for prolonged machine standstills ................................................................ 62

10.2 Disposal of waste products ................................................................................................ 66
10.3 Dismantling the machine ................................................................................................... 66

WARNING
Before carrying out any procedure on the machine, read Chapter 4, “Precautions for use and maintenance”
with care.

10.1 Instr uctions for pr olong ed machine standstills

If the compressor is not to be used for prolonged periods, remove the active carbon cartridge from the
strainer filter.
Run the compressor idle for a few minutes to drain off any residue condensate. Stop the compressor,
remove the intake filter, start up the compressor again spraying a few drops of oil into the intake hole so
that a light film of lubricant is sucked in and penetrates the internal parts of the compressor.
Stop the compressor and refit the intake air filter. Clean the external parts and try to remove any saline
humidity and oily deposits. Protect the compressor from dust and water by storing it in a clean, dry
place.
Turn the machine off using the general switch (position “0”) and remove the power plug.
Carry out a general cleaning operation on the machine and all its components.

MODELS WITH INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES

The “Standard” series of compressors run by diesel or petrol engines require additional precautions
due mainly to the presence of the fuel, especially if the compressor has to be moved from its place of
use.
In these cases, apart from the operations to be carried out on the pump unit, it is also necessary to take
the following steps.

NOTE
When the compressor is transported, close the fuel cock on the engine and keep the refill station in a
vertical position at all times to avoid spilling any fuel. Risk of fire or explosion.

62 Putting the machine out of operation

and dismantling the machine
The place where the refill station is to be stored must be a dry, clean and covered location.

NOTE
The fuels are highly inflammable and may explode. Keep flames and objects producing sparks at a
distance. Do not smoke in the surrounding area.

PETROL ENGINES
a) With the fuel cock closed, remove and empty
the sump of all sediment (Fig. 106).

106

b) Open the fuel cock and discharge the fuel from

the tank into a suitable container (Fig. 107).

107

c) Replace the sediment sump and secure it

tightly. Discharge the fuel by unscrewing the
discharge screw (Fig. 108). Discharge the fuel
from the carburettor into a suitable container.

108

Putting the machine out of operation 63

and dismantling the machine
d) Change the engine oil following the instructions given in chapter 11 “Maintenance”.

Remove the spark plug (Fig. 109) and pour a

spoon of clean motor oil into the cylinder.

109

Allow the engine to turn a few times to distribute

the oil and then replace the spark plug.
Blow the pull start cord (Fig. 110) until resistance
is felt.

110

Continue to pull until the notch in the pulley lines

up with the hole in the pull start (see the illustration
in figure 111). At this point, the suction and
discharge valves are closed and this helps to
protect the engine from internal corrosion.

111

64 Putting the machine out of operation

and dismantling the machine
 DIESEL ENGINES
a) Run the engine for about 3 minutes and then stop it.
b) When the engine has stopped, change the lubrication oil while the engine is still hot (see chapter 11
“Maintenance” for the procedures).
c) Remove the rubber cap on the equalizer
cover and add about 2 cu. cm. of lubricating
oil (Fig. 112). Close the rubber cap again.

112

PULL START
d) Turn the decompression lever downwards
(Fig. 113) (non-compression position) and
keep it in this position while the start device is
operated 2 or 3 times (the engine does not
start up).

ELECTRIC START
d) Turn the starter motor for 2 or 3 seconds with
the decompression lever lowered (Fig. 113)
(non-compression position) and the starter key
in the “START” position (the engine does not
113 start up).

e) Turn the decompression lever upwards, pull the handle of the self-winding device slowly until a strong
resistance is felt. This causes the closure of the suction and discharge valves (compression phase),
reducing the risk of rust formation.
f) Remove any mud, oil, etc. from the surface of the engine and position it in a dry place.

MODEL WITH ELECTRIC START

Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Recharge it once a month.

10.2 Disposal of waste products

When using the compressor, special waste products are produced. It must be remembered that waste
from industrial processes, agricultural, artisan and commercial activities and service industries cannot
be disposed of together with normal urban waste either because of their quality or quantity.
Old or obsolete machinery is also to be considered as special waste.
Special care must be taken with the disposal of worn active carbon filters which, being a waste product
that cannot be disposed of together with normal urban waste, must be dealt with in compliance with the
laws in force in the country where the compressor is installed.
It is important to remember that the loading and discharge of waste oil, special waste products and toxic
or harmful waste products deriving from industrial or artisan processes must be registered.
The collection of waste oils and special toxic or harmful waste products must be carried out by specially
authorized companies. The disposal of waste oils in particular must be carried out in accordance with
the regulations in force in the user’s country.

10.3 Dismantling the machine

The operations required for stripping and demolishing the machine must be carried out by
qualified staff.
To dismantle the machine, follow the regulations imposed by the laws in force in the user’s country.
Before demolishing the machine, an inspection must be requested by the competent authority with the
issuing of a relative report. Disconnect the machine from the power supply.
Remove any interfacing that there may be between the compressor and other machines, checking
carefully that any interfacing between other machines that are still in use remain operative.
Empty the tanks containing the lubricating oil or fuel (models with internal combustion engines). The oil
or fuel must be stored in accordance with the provisions of the law.
Furthermore, for models run by internal
combustion engines (MCH 13-16/SH, MCH 13-
16/DY, MCH 13-16/DH):

If the engine oil comes into constant contact with the skin, it can cause skin cancer. Although this is a
very remote possibility except for those who handle engine oil every day, it is still advisable to wash
hands well with soap and water as soon as possible after the work has been done.

NOTE:
The used engine oil removed must be disposed of according to the national laws in force concerning
such matters. We advise placing it in a sealed container and taking it to a service station for recycling.

WARNING
The oil must be disposed of carefully and not into the environment (e.g. into wells, into the ground, etc.).

80 Maintenance
 Air filter 11.11.3

If the air filter is dirty, it reduces the flow of air to the carburettor. To prevent damaging the carburettor,
service the air filter regularly. It should be serviced even more frequently if the engine is used in very
dusty areas.

CAUTION
Never clean the air filter with petrol or very inflammable solvents, otherwise it could lead to explosions or
fires.

WARNING
Never turn the engine on without the air filter as this would certainly damage it.

PETROL ENGINE
1 Remove the butterfly nut and the air filter cover
(Fig. 136-137). Remove the filter parts and se-
parate them. Check the parts carefully to
ensure they are not perforated or damaged. If
they are, replace them.

2 Foam part (Fig. 138): wash the part in a

cleansing solution for domestic use and hot
water and dry well, or wash it in a solvent that
is either not or only slightly inflammable. Then
leave it to dry well. Soak the part in clean
engine oil and squeeze it to get out all the
excess oil.

NOTE:
if too much oil is left in the filter, the engine smokes
in a strange way as soon as it is started up.

138

DIESEL ENGINE

3 Paper part (Fig. 139): tap the part several

times on a hard surface until the dirt is removed.
Compressed air may also be blown into it from
the inside outwards.
Never use brushes as they push the dirt into
the fibres of the part. Replace the paper part if
it is too dirty.

139

11.11.4 Sediment sump (only for petrol engines)

CAUTION
- The fuel is highly inflammable and may even explode. Do not smoke in the surrounding area and do
not allow naked flames or sparks near the engine.
- Once the sediment sump has been fitted, check that there are no leaks and that the whole area is free
of any spilt fuel before starting the engine.

82 Maintenance
 Move the fuel valve to “CLOSE” (Fig. 140). Remove
the sediment sump and the “O” ring (Fig. 141),
then wash them in solvent that is either non-
inflammable or only slightly inflammable. Leave
them to dry well and then replace them. Open the
fuel cock and check that it does not leak.

140

141

Spark plugs (only for petrol engines) 11.11.5

WARNING
Never use a spark plug with an unsuitable thermal range. In order for the engine to perform well, the
spark plug must be clean and the electrodes must be at the right distance.

1 Remove the cap from the spark plug and use

a spark plug key of the right size to remove
the spark plug (Fig. 142).

142

Maintenance 83
WARNING
If the engine has been running, the silencer will be very hot. Take care not to get burnt.

2 Inspect the spark plug to check that it is not worn and that the insulator is not chipped or damaged.
If this is the case, the spark plug must be replaced. Finally clean the spark plug with a steel brush.

3 Measure the distance between the spark plug

electrodes using a thickness gauge, and
correct it if necessary by bending the upper
electrode.
The distance must be (Fig. 143): 0.70 -
0.80 mm.

143

4 Check that the spark plug washer is in good condition. Screw in the spark plug by hand to avoid
damaging the thread.

5 Once the spark plug rests on the base, tighten

it with a key for spark plugs so that it squeezes
the washer (Fig. 144).

144

NOTE:
When a new spark plug is fitted, tighten it by 1/2 a turn once it has been positioned so that it squeezes
the washer. When a used spark plug is fitted again, tighten it by 1/8 – 1/4 of a turn until it has been
positioned so that it squeezes the washer

WARNING
The spark plug must always be tightly secured. If the spark plug is not tightened sufficiently, it may
overheat and damage the engine.

84 Maintenance
 Minimum carburettor regulation (only petrol engines) 11.11.6

Start up the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.

Use the accelerator setscrew (Fig. 145) with the

engine running at a minimum to achieve the
standard minimum speed that is 1400÷150 r.p.m.

145

Fuel filter 11.11.7

The fuel filter must be cleaned according to the intervals described (see Maintenance table); a regular
operating performance from the engine depends on this.
To carry out this operation, proceed as follows:
- have a container suitable for holding the fuel nearby, of a sufficient capacity to contain the quantity of
fuel;

- empty the fuel from the tank by unscrewing

the discharge cap (Fig. 146).

146

Maintenance 85
 - Unscrew the carburettor cock clamp screws
and remove the filter (Fig. 147).

147

- Wash the filter with diesel and blow compressed air into it (if necessary replace it).
- Replace the filter, screw up the fuel cock and finally screw up the discharge cap once again.

11.11.8 Batter y 12 Volt (not supplied by Aerotecnica Coltri)

CAUTION
- The battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid; therefore, it is necessary to protect the eyes, skin and
clothes. In the event of accidental contact, wash thoroughly with water and seek medical advice
immediately, especially if the eyes are the affected area.
- The batteries emit hydrogen, a gas that can be highly explosive. Do not smoke and do not allow naked
flames or sparks to come into contact with the battery, especially during the filling operation.

At each start up (daily), check the level of the electrolyte in the battery and the condition of the same.

86 Maintenance
 If necessary top up (Fig. 148). If there are any
signs of damage, replace the battery.

148

CAUTION
- Before the recharge, disconnect the same from the electric system otherwise the diodes would be
damaged by the high voltage.
- Reconnect the positive (+) and the negative pole (-) of the battery according to the indications given on
the battery itself. If the poles are inverted, the rectifier or the battery would be damaged.
- Before proceeding with the recharging, remove the caps from each part.
- Recharge the battery in a well-ventilated place.
- Do not proceed with the recharging if the temperature of the electrolyte exceeds 45 °C (127 °F).
